Summary
This trial is investigating whether a program of pelvic physical therapy can help gynecologic cancer survivors who have sexual dysfunction. The therapy involves exercises and treatments to strengthen and relax pelvic muscles, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. Researchers want to see if this program is practical for patients and if it improves their sexual function and quality of life. Multimodal pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) has shown sustained improvements in pain and sexual function for gynecological cancer survivors.
